Wonderful work, Runar.  But you should have used a part from a Volvo so the steel would be more acclimated to your beautiful winters.

Not really knowing the history of them, I've been wondering if this is among the first of the "back-action" locks.

To my eye that muzzle cap is one of the most complicated parts of the build. Great workmanship and great thread - thanks for posting Runastav ;) 8).

Runar, I think you ae ready for the firing range!  And you will have the best-looking, most historical, firearms that are present.

Big congratulations on the beautiful work.  Having followed your builds, I think making/repairing is your big joy in your life.  Looking at your work is a big joy in my life.

Runar, great build! I really like your darker version, but that's probably due to my American exposure. I recognize most of your finishing chemicals. What is Akta Bets?
